Dec 02, 2010 17:14 | #4 well i was gonna get the 5dc as it is full frame, but then i was thinking maybe the 1d mIIn would be good for the AF and even the 1.3 is better then my 1.6. just wanted to get some outside input.

The 5D isn't really fast or accurate at focusing. Honestly I don't think Canon makes a great wedding camera at the moment, but the 5D/5DII is about as close as they can manage.

The 1d is quite a bit heavier, if it is anything like my 1ds, and that really matters when you are shooting all day and often have flash, long lenses etc. Sue Cassidy
